If you follow these instructions and build ‘bitcoind’ it’s all linked statically to wxWidgets, boost, openssl and libdb.. for me it looks like this:

Code:$ ldd bitcoind linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff31dff000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ff1a0a78000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007ff1a0768000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007ff1a04e4000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007ff1a02cd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007ff1a00b1000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff19fd41000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff1a0c7c000)

Jago, do you have all the proper dependencies installed?

The linux release candidate in the “1.3 almost ready” thread contains prebuilt bitcoind.
